McIntosh Model Number and Compatibility Issues

[Jiyujin]

Hello,

I have a Liberty 2007 Premium 2.5i Wagon My08 with a McIntosh system in it. I would like to know where the model number is located as I'm interested in purchasing a GROM USB2+.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Jiyujin

You need to take the hu out to get the model number is on the top of the stereo

The grom units do not work to well with this hu only a few functions work
Do you have swc ?..

Hey sjm69,

Thank you for the reply!
I was hoping that there was another way to find it without removing it but will try to take it out during the week to confirm.
Have sent you a PM as well.
Cheers!

I have the PF-28241 unit Made in Japan with the GROM-IPD3. SWC works like a charm.

Thank you all for your feedback. I have already contacted Cushie Audio, and here is their reply.

"There is only one supported McIntosh radio and that's the PF-28241. It's only compatible with the GROM BT3 and IPD3 car kits. There is however one flaw and that is the PF-28241 doesn't support stereo or steering wheel control."

Cheers!

I'm on the same boat as db1. I've got a PF-28241 mad in Japan and everything works with my GROM-IPD3 on FW version 5.

Do you have GROM-IPD3 or GROM-USB2+? Do you know what version FW it has?

Currently have a grom-ipd3. Tried usb2 before that also no luck as far as FW goes I updated about 6-7 months ago so not to sure what version I'm on

Also spoken to the supplier recently there line is currently both GROM units do not support our HU , so go figure

Hey Steve,

How are ya? It's been a while. Do you want to try again?

[Jiyujin]

Thanks for the feedback guys, it's a shame I can't rename the title of this post. I see that there are some issues of compatibility with the GROM-IPD3 and the GROM-USB2+. Are these issues only with a few users? Which route should I take in regards to purchasing a unit? I don't have steering wheel control on my vehicle. Apologies for all the questions but have only had my car for the last 2 weeks...
Thanks!
